Chillingworth swung the discussion
to the construction work on the build

in the senate last week that contract
work would have proved a saving. He
ccmpared the cost of additional hired
labor with that at Schofield Barracks.

RED DISCOVERIES
WE AT VOLCANO
Word has been received from the
Volcano of Kilauea that the lava lake
is rising again at a rapid pace, and
has already reached a point sufficient
ly high for resumption of the series of
daring experienients which were com
menced In January last Several des
cents Into the fire-pit have been made
bys, Professor Jaggar and assistants
and some remarkable discoveries are
being added to the already long list
cf scientific wonders which has been
furnished, by. Halemaumau.
Among the more important of these
is a presumably clear proof that there
Is a direct connection between Kilauea
and Mauna Loa. Titty has long been
rurmised, but the appeal ance of a new
island In the lake with.a base compos
ed of the type of i lava ejected from
Mauna Loa during the great eruption
cf May last year, a type entirely for
eign to the lake lavas in Halemaumau,
points to the connection already- allud
ed to, and a special series of tests-will
be made In support of this assumption.
It is anticipated that vthe series of
personally conducted tours to the vol
cano, which leave Honolulu on Satur
days, and of which full details are al
ways to be found in the advertising
columns will be still more widely pat

each occasion was severely reprU

The first time he got "hot under the

the road department got stuck on Its
asphalt deal when it paid $19 a ton.
Larsen said It could be purchased at
San Francisco for 9 a ton and with
the freight at about $6 it should have
only cost the city $15.-
"The city called for bids which were
much higher than 119," answered Arn
